Victor Glover hugging everyone and sending applause to the crew 😭
Okay, they're safe and home and being looked after, the adrenaline has worn off, the thunderstorm is finished and I'm no longer buried under an anxious corgi - it's time for a snack!
It was fun watching this with everyone! Thanks to all who joined in! :) <3
Geez, look what we can do when we work together

Okay I'm not saying I love everything the military does because I absolutely don't, but I'm sorry I do really like military vehicles (jeeps, aircraft, ships) and watching the four helicoptors on the flight deck like this, in perfect order, bringing astronauts home, I mean, COME ON, THAT'S VERY COOL

Suddenly just walking off my front porch seems very boring and lackluster

Okay I have definitely watched too many shark movies 😆

this all feels very #Monsterdon because they do fuck off into the sea; but the monster is in the White House
I love that they're still sharing the sound of the cheering in the control room over the video of what's happening on the water. 😊

"Nominal" is like "chuffed" for me, for some reason (maybe a misunderstanding in my youth?) my brain hears these words as negative descriptors, not positive.

I keep slipping into full-on #Monsterdon mode and accidentally sharing a comment that is meant more for my mufos than for the people on the Artemis II hashtag, lol.
I need a t-shirt that just says DORK in big block letters
Going from weightlessness to re-entry to a rolling sea is quite the workout for the vestibular system
"So what are we looking at"
"Well as you can see, Melinda, this is a giant floaty. We have filled it with air, and these NAVY divers are attaching ropes and carabiners in a very official way, as to facilitate the move from the capsule into the giant floaty."
Currents hinder me from unfurling, too
The funky grainy, glittery surface, is that from the burn coming in?

Oh they won't get in the boats at all, the helicopters will take them straight off the "porch".

"Plenty of people on the boat here"
Yes where are you going to put the astronauts

"You keep hearing that, that it's 'once in a lifetime', but it isn't! We want to go back soon!"
Awww, this guy is great!

They’re _really_ stressing the point that the astronauts are in really good shape. Every time, I’m more and more convinced that they’re gonna pop open the capsule and tentacles are going to shoot out.
@djwudi @crowbriarhexe “Everything is green!! Wait, you mean the tentacles are green?!? Wait, what is that?!? AaaHHhhHhHhHh!!!”

“Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I gotta pee!”
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.”
I wonder if Jeremy Hansen is afraid to leave the capsule in case ICE are waiting for him. He won’t have his passport on him.
